Liberty Amendment

I realize that not everyone who reads this lives in the United States of America. I also realize that in the past I have never been that politically active - mostly due to the lack of causes that I can support with no reservations.

That, however, has changed.

The only way to reduce taxes is to reduce the size and scope of government. That is why I support the Liberty Amendment which proposes, under Section 1: "The Government of the United States shall not engage in any business, professional, commercial, financial or industrial enterprise except as specified in the Constitution." Under Section 3, it stipulates: "The activities of the United States Government which violate the intent and purposes of this amendment shall, within a period of three years from the date of the ratification of the amendment, be liquidated and properties and facilities affected shall be sold." As incredible as this may seem, enactment of the Liberty Amendment would cut the cost of government more than half and provide funds with which to pay off the national debt by more than 65 billion dollars! Cutting the size of the government is the only way to cut taxes, and don't let any politician tell you otherwise.

This is something I'm serious about. Educate yourself about it. Write a letter to your Senator and your Representative. Get others involved. This is something worth fighting for.

Glad to know that AZ has already endorsed. But will find time to write anyway so support will continue.

thanks for the heads up. Most of the time my head is so far up somewhere that the rest of the world gets lost.
